It's me or AOE3 is better than AOE4?

[(ESP) JGuti110]

I played ALL AOE since 1997 (yeah nübz, im 2 old) and bought aoe4 in steam and refund fast... Sounds are garbage, graphics garbage, variety of units = garbage... its me or aoe3 is WAY BETTER?

[Barcas]

aoe3 is by any means waayy better!. aoe4 had a lot of potential but has turned out garbage sadly..

[DeuxVult]

yeah I believe the same but medieval settings are just more popular

[COMMANDO ELITE]

I can't think of one thing AoE 4 does better

[sp00ky]

I got this one because I thought 4 was way expensive, despite not liking aoe3 back in the day the definitive edition got rid of every thing that bothered me about the game. Ended up loving this game.

Then I got aoe4 and man it's a dissapointment. This game feels like the franchise moving forward from aoe2, while 4 is more of an imitation of aoe2 with it's own fair share of problems.

Every time i start a game of aoe4 i think "I could be playing aoe3 or aoe2 instead"

AOE4 is on alpha. Yeah they released the game, but there is no content. they released the game core to sell tons of DLC later, that is why the game is boring, there is nothing to do, almost no nations to play, just AOE 1 2 3 and mythology bunched together to make a new mechanic and same units for every nation. After 2 years, when they release 7 DLCs, the game will better.

I enjoy both!! just waiting for extra content & Infinite resources with Mod Tools and a Editor.

AOE3 is x1000 better.
AOM is better than AOE4.
And if AOM had better graphics I'd probably play it more than 3.

Either way 4 is kind of a joke. I couldn't do it for one hour let alone decades like AOE2/3/M

Just another fine example of why board members and upper mgmt have no business sticking their noses into the game world and need to take their asses back to sporting events or leave game devs the ♥♥♥♥ alone and let them be the ones making the decisions.

AOE 3 was good AOE DE sucks that is why low playerbase

Still waiting for them to announce Age of Mythology: Definitive edition.
It's bound to happen, both 2 and 3 sold well otherwise they would not keep supporting them and releasing dlc.
A pity that AOE1 was treated as a testing ground more and has not received proper treatment with new civs and units.

And if I recall, AoM ranked higher in popularity than AOE3. It has a better grand campaign and existing outside of the empires series as a spinoff, it relieved some burdens of expectation and allowed people to be more open to where it deviated from the AOE2 formula.

AoM also has plenty of room for new civs and their mythology.
Romans, Aztecs, Celts, Persians and Japanese would all be fine options.
Heck, it has room for new minor or even major gods of existing factions too, at least I don't think anyone would mind if the Greeks got a fourth major god with some minor ones added too considering the Greeks are at the core of the game.
Demeter could become a new economy focused major goddess. Persephone as her daughter is a shoe in for a minor goddess who Hades could also get access to.
Hestia and Pan could be good as other minor deities.

Plenty of room for unique faction mechanics for earlier mentioned new factions too.

Romans could make use of generals or centurions who could inspire nearby troops, giving bonuses. Obtaining favour could be from building collums and statues, which could be cheaper and more numerous than the Egyptian monuments but weaker, in total the results would be the same so for them it would be more a gradual increase.

Aztecs could get favour from priests using temples, but could be able to sacrifice units for a quick favour boost.
They could also make use of different warrior castes with different purposes. One of them could be good against myth units similar as the hersir.

Also AOE 4 is better you can tell by the playerbase sitting at around 10k while this is around 3-4k
Only thing DE did was make some of the older players stop playing because how bad it is

AoE4 average player count has already fallen to around 6k, this month it might finally stop falling down (maybe)

Recent reviews are currently also better for AoE3DE (89% positive) compared to AoE4 (83%).
It seems more and more players are finding out which is the better game.

It was 9.9k I checked as writing that so that information is wrong
12.5 k as i was writing this
But personally i like AOE 3 better, just DE was a cash grab that killed the game.
